Perfect
location--specially
for
KCL
students--safe,
clean
and
a
fantastic
management
team.
I
stayed
at
Chapter
South
Bank
from
September
2019
to
October
2020.
l
researched/visited
several
accommodations
and
went
with
Chapter
South
Bank
because
of
the
clean
rooms,
facilities
(including
an
on-site
gym),
24/7
security
and
proximity
to
KCL's
Strand
Campus
and
the
Southwark
tube
station
(Jubilee
line).
The
only
thing
that
could
make
it
more
perfect
is
a
resident
cat
or
dog!!
:)
Chapter's
5/5
rating
though
is
really
thanks
to
their
superb
and
professional
management
team.
Geanne
and
Ibrahim
were
my
first
new
friends
in
London
and
they
go
above
and
beyond
to
make
sure
everything
is
running
smoothly.
Any
maintenance
issues,
which
were
rare,
were
sorted
out
within
24
hours.
Ellie,
Robin
and
Tiago
are
immensely
kind
and
helpful,
and
made
me
feel
very
at
home
at
Chapter.
They
gave
me
lots
of
great
LDN
advice
and
helped
me
through
some
very
stressful
dissertation
months.
Leo
and
Dino
were
managers
during
my
first
and
second
term
respectively,
and
are
super
invested
the
well-being
and
safety
of
the
residents.
I
particularly
applaud
Chapter
South
Bank's
response
to
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
in
March
2020.
They
had
been
keeping
us
posted
on
the
situation
since
December,
and
maintained
strict
SOPs
and
cleaning
schedules
to
ensure
everyone's
safety.
There
were
a
lot
of
online
events
too,
including
yoga
classes,
quiz
nights
and
music
performances
which
really
helped
with
any
lockdown
blues.
**Location
The
Southwark
station
is
three
minutes
away
and
Waterloo
station
about
10
minutes
walking.
There's
a
sainsburys
and
tesco
just
ten
feet
from
the
gate,
and
a
co-op,
24/7
convenience
store,
Starbucks
and
M&S
Food
a
five-minute
walk
away.
The
Tate
Modern
and
Millennium
Bridge
are
around
the
corner
and
Borough
Market
is
ten
minutes
away.
Borough
market
was
a
great
place
to
shop
for
eggs
and
vegetables
when
supermarket
supplies
were
limited
during
lockdown.
There
are
lots
of
restaurants
on
the
Cut
ten
minutes
away.
I
won't
say
more
because
it's
a
super
fun
area
to
explore
on
your
own.
The
KCL
Strand
Campus
is
a
25
minute
scenic
walk
away
and
10-15
via
bike.
The
Waterloo
and
Guy's
Campuses
are
10-15
minutes
away
on
foot.
It's
not
worth
taking
the
tube
to
any
of
them,
so
you
definitely
save
money
on
transport.
**Rooms
and
Facilities
I
had
a
silver
studio
(with
a
double
bed,
small
TV,
stove,
oven
microwave
and
toaster)
on
the
8th
floor
in
Block
B.
I
did
prefer
it
to
block
A
because
you're
not
right
next
to
the
street,
it's
cooler
in
the
summer
because
the
other
block
cuts
the
sun
till
the
ninth
floor,
has
a
great
view
and
you
don't
need
to
leave
the
building
to
go
to
the
gym
or
laundry
room.
I
booked
early
and
Vicky
from
the
online
team
helped
me
pick
out
a
great
room.
The
rooms
are
pretty
soundproof
and
have
huge
windows.
Unfortunately,
only
a
small
part
opens,
but
you
still
get
good
ventilation.
The
radiators
kept
me
very
comfortable
during
the
winter
and
there
was
only
one
week
in
the
summer
where
it
was
super
hot.
A
tower
fan
was
more
than
enough
for
the
summer.
The
gym
is
a
huge
plus--clean,
floor
mats
that
make
HIIT
easier,
several
machines
and
free
weights.
There's
also
a
membership
gym
around
the
corner
for
fitness
lovers
who
need
even
more
equipment.
On-site
laundry
is
convenient
and
a
bit
cheaper
than
prices
I've
seen
in
the
city.
There's
also
secure
bike
parking
and
a
garden.
The
study
room
and
sky
lounge
(with
a
pool
table,
foosball
,
and
TV)
are
great
places
to
hang
or
study.
Chapter
South
Bank
is
big
enough
for
people
who
like
to
be
social
and
it's
also
easy
to
find
space
and
time
for
yourself
if
you
prefer
to
be
in
your
own.
I
would
highly
recommend
Chapter
South
Bank.
It's
value
for
money,
especially
if
you’re
doing
a
one
year
programme.
Far
more
secure
and
clean
compared
to
other
places--
based
on
what
I
heard
from
friends
in
other
private
accommodations
and
university
residences.
My
year
in
London
wouldn't
have
been
half
as
amazing
without
my
Chapter
South
experience
:)
